This might seem like an odd question, but I was wondering if any of the vinyl guys here would have any suggestions about a good basic TT/Arm that would be suitable for practicing cartridge set-up on?
The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to learn how to do this properly, but don't want to risk damaging my good cartridges/arms, or stuffing up their current set-up which was done for me by the dealers.
My first TT, the Clearaudio concept MC , came set-up out of the box, so I never go to play around with it, and I think (have been told) its arm is a little unusual with regards to set-up. I plan on selling it anyway, and so was hoping someone could suggest a good practice TT - cheap, easy to adjust/set up, but able to demonstrate the audible difference between good and bad set-up.
I'm thinking a simple Project, Rega, etc, ??
Cheers
